2018 Youth Science InstituteIt's that time of year again. We are beginning recruitment for the 2018 Youth Science Institute hosted by the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center.

High school students interested in science can apply for the Youth Science Institute (YSI) program by January 12th, 2018. This after-school program is for high school students in grades 9-11 who have an interest in exploring different scientific disciplines. Students will conduct different science experiments and activities including stream monitoring, dissections, earth science geology hikes, astrobiology, biochemistry, green building demonstrations, lake science on the UC Davis Research Vessel John Le Conte and more! The students will not only gain knowledge and skills in various scientific fields and work with scientists, but will receive opportunities for paid internships, fulfill community service hours, and receive letters of recommendation.
